Thank you everyone! Can I ask about two more just to be sure about everybody?

To clarify, meant the prominent birds in the pics, there are males in background, assuming those are the known roos?

Just seeing the one rooster who’s apparently mating well from the photos

Yep those are my beautiful and sweet black copper maran boys!

Your buffs are girls, and the barred rock is a girl, but I think your easter eggers are both boys. Pointed hackle feathers is why. They can be hard to sex and they mature much later than other breeds. Let me know if they start to crow! Looks like they are ready to do just that!

Fingers crossed they don't crow....I was so sad when my favorite Easter Egger (Amelia Earhart) crowed!

Ok, so is this EE a rooster or pullet? What do you think? I couldn't tell.

2x @Ol Grey Mare ... I've had BOs several times, some of those pullets really had me nervous with the size of their combs/wattles but they didn't crow & I got eggs. Your EEs are so pretty, pullets also

Thank you!!

Elmofilm- I would say pullet because here is my rooster that has the same coloring....He has huge upright tail feathers and very pointed neck feathers.

For young ees it’s hard to tell by neck feathers. I’ve learned to always look at the booty. If you zoom in you can tell the difference between the buff ee and the red ee. You can see the pointed saddle feathers like the neck.
